DIR. BACON,S ACCOUNTS.
A Member OF the Examining Committee
Saysthe Published Reports Have Been
Misleading.

Since the publication Of the charge Of shortage
In tho accounts OF the late DR.. Levi Bacon, as
financial clerk of the Patent ONCE the friends OF
that gentleman have been somewhat indignant
over the publicity given the results OF what they
claim was hurried and cursory examination Of
the affairs Of the Office, covering only q period OF
few days, and not including thorough exami-
nation of the books.
Mr.. Schuyler Duryee. late chief clerk of the
Patent ONCE who was one OF the committee To
examine into and report upon DR.. Bacon's &C
counts, was asked to-day by STAR reporter as to
the facts concerning the published reports. Mr..
Duryee said: "The published reports Of DR..
Bacon's accounts at the Patent once have been
misleading. The committee appointed by the
Secretary OF the Interior made an inventory OF
tne @ contents Of the safe used by Mr. Bacon but
should have been made before announcing the re-
sun OF the inventory, and, until the footlngs OF
the Journal kept by DR.. Bacon, showing the daily
OF money received by him during his eleven and
one-half years OF service about $11,OOO,OOOD
definitely determined and compared with the ag-
gregae Of his deposits 1t is impossible TO say just
how his accounts stood at the time OF his decease
In my judgment, and am not alone In this, such
an an, examination will reveal that MT Bacon was

entire term, and it was with the knowledge OF bis

than probable that this discrepancy-an incon.
siderable sum compared with the sll,0oo, goo
handled by DR.. BacOn-will be shown when the
books are revised TO be due to clerical errors and
that errors to such an amount In a series OF &C.
counts count covering $1,000 pages, which which have e not

Parnen Makes a Speech.
HE EULOGIZES Mr.. GLADSTONE, AND PREDICTS HI
SUCCESS WITHIN FEW MONTHS

HR EULOGIZES Mr. GLADSTONE, AND PREDICTS HIS
SUCCESS WITHIN FEW MONTHS
At banquet given to Mr.. Parnell and many
Of his colleagues by the National Liberal Club last
night the health OF the queen was proposed by
Mr.. Dillwyn and the guests all rose decorously
and drank the toast. Mr.. Parnen eulOgized Mr..
Gladstone for having put his shoulder to the wheel,
and said that before many months the ex-premier
would carry his policy and be recognized as the
only great man in British politics Others who
were now attracting attention were tmitators and
tinkers. Mr.. Parnell wondered how long English
march up the hIn and down again. The
recent election had forced them to make
concessions or resign The English liberals
might be assured that their exertions
misery had been suffered during the past eighteen
months. Crime had diminished, and the people
had turned to constitutional methods OF adjust
ing their grievances instead OF to physical force.
The liberals might claim therein a great success
for the people recognized that through their exer
tions the way had been opened to an honorable
union. II the liberals failed In their program their
great reward would be that they had banished
violence, outrage and revenge, and brought the
nation to depend upon lawful methods OF redress
II the government honestly and fairly ", tried to
the execution thereof was in no way frustrated,
they would never have to use the coercion bill,
which would become standing memo
rial Of the time which the tory government of 1887
had wasted. The d1minutiOn OF crime proved the
gratitude OF the Irish toward the liberals and he
trusted that the Irish would rely upon the good
feeling OF the liberals, that even when oppressed,
trampled upon and ev1cted, they would retaliate
slowly. They should remember that the tory gov
ernment would not last forever From Self-inter-
est the Irish would be fools to give way the spen-
did position won for them, and they would be most
ungrateful II in any way they should retard the
progress Of the liberals in the path OF justice. Mr.
ParnellS speech was received with loud ahd pro-
longed applause. He was followed by Justin Nc
Carthy.

The Volunteer.

ALMOST READY FOR THE TRIAL TRIP At BOSTON.
A telegram from Boston says that at high water
tonight the steel slOOp volunteer Will be hauled
out OF the basin Of South Boston and anchored in
the stream. AS soon after as practicable the huge
centerboard win be shipped. Tomorrow morning
about fifteen tons OF extra lead ballast win be put
into her, and the chances are that she viii start
on her trial trip about noon. General Paine ia
anxious to test his new boat as soon as possible,
and intends to give her three hours spin In the
bay before making an extended cruise. As the
yacht lies In the water her points are dis
cussed freely by yachtsmen and andsmen alike,
and while The former may better appreciate the
beauty and remarkable design Of the yacht, 1t is
apparent even to one not versed in yachting
matters that the volunteer Is not an ordinary
yacht. The huge bowspr1t, the lofty mast, the
massive bOOm-these are the skeleton upon which
an enormous area OF canvas Will be stretched,
while on the sharp bow. the low rail- the deck, al.
most unbrOken by distractions which would
catch the wind, and the extremely narrow stern,
show that the Volunteer Is intended for racer.
The rigging, the blocks, and brass and iron work
show careful attention to the small matters upon
which at times so much depends General Paine
thinks that the first race OF the Volunteer win be
that for the Goelet Cup, at Newport, on August g.
The name volunteer was carved on the yachts
stern yesterday. Her ngurehead will be an Amer
ican eagle, but this has not yet been put on.

Captured the BumbOats.
BRILLIANT VICTORY WON BY A REVENUE GUTTER IN
CHICAGO HARBOR
A naval engagement Of Importance took place
yesterday In the Chicago harbor between the rev.
enue cutter Andy johnson and Black Jack Yat-
taw's bumboat El Tempo. For several summers
Yattaw has maintained adisreputable resort about
half a mile from shore. The city authorities have
never been able either to collect q license or
break up his business, but the United States
Government did find way to deal with the
nuisance by fning Black Jack $500 on two sep
arate charges OF failing to display harbOr lights
on the El Tempo, and another old hulk which he
USED as an annex. One OF these fines had been
paid, but the second was In default Supplied
with the proper papers, Capt. Baker this after
noon seized the annex bumbOat and towed 1t into
slip. Yattaw stood on the deck OF the Ell Tempo
and Jeered the gunbOat as she made the first trip,
but was greatly surprised when the Andy john
son returned and made fast to the FL Tempo. He
was told he could have 1ive minutes TO pay the
second fine. When the time was up the bumbOat
was towed on. Yattaw had provided himself with
about twenty rifles and revolvers and number OF
his tough friends to handle them, but he weak
ened when he saw the muzzle OF the rined Dahl
gren gun trained directly on his craft and q
platoon OF marines drawn up on deck with repeat
Ing WtncheSters ready for nse This ends Black
Jack and his bumbOata.

THE EEEJE ISLANDS.
Sir John ThurstOn, their Governor,
Tells Something About Them.

CHICAGO July 21.-Sir JnO. B. Thurston, gov
ernOr OF the Feeje Islands, arrived in Chicago yes
terday. The governor is on his way to England to
enjoy q short season OF rest. He says there are
about 15O islands comprising his charge and they
were annexed to Great Britain about ten years
about 100 600 natives and 5000 Europeans The
present capital is at silva, having been removed
from Lebuka few years ago. The principal pro-
ducts OF the island are coptra or cocoanuts, tea,
and lately the English planters have succeeded in
raising good quality OF coffee and cotton. owing
to the human1zirg teachings OF his predecessor,
Sir Austin Gordon, cannibaliSm had become one
of the lost arts, and to-day there were but few OF
these man-eattng creatures to be found on any OF
the islands. Some years ago IL was found TO be
exceedingly difficult to induce the lazy and care
less PolyneSian natives to work on the planta-
tions, and the government finally concluded TO
send to the Islands the industrious coolies from
India, and at present there were about 5000 OF
these laborers whose services were let by the gov
ernment agents on specific contracts.
